Georgia Power's New Teacher Assistance Grants
Each year since 2004, Georgia Power has awarded $1,000 grants for classroom supplies to some of the state's best and brightest new teachers through its New Teacher Assistance Grant Program. The purpose of the program is to encourage promising new teachers by helping them purchase materials and supplies for use in their classroom beyond those provided by their school. The items purchased with the grant money are the property of the teacher, not of the school system.
